"Barefoot Ballad"

One of my all time favorite Elvis movies. It co-stars the delightful Yvonne Craig, who I thought was simply beautiful.

I wasn't aware when I first did this, but today marks the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death. And who can forget the Jordanaires. One of its members was a dj on WPLO-AM, in Atlanta, back in the early days of the 60's. Seems he refused to play the "British Invasion" music; or limited its play; or showed his disdain every time he played anything from across the sea.

His name is Hugh Jarrett. He of the bass voice. He resides today in Woodstock, Ga. not New York. And is 77 years old.

Also, in today's ajc they list some of the fav foods that Elvis enjoyed. Including recipes. There's a link for the pound cake, as well.

"Kissin' Cousins" is playing today on TCM along with other Elvis classics.

Here's the trailer:
